I literally just got my TB, coming from a droid. Can someone help me root this thing and get a custom rom on it?
Seems hard. and im not that savy

Its not hard....just use the 3-step method in this forum, has step by step instructions.

And after reading through it, if your still lost....not to sound mean, but maybe you shouldnt be attempting it.

Check out the sister site. Might be easier to get help for this over there. Is a little less busy and totally dedicated to Thunderbolt.

Go Here and post for help:
1 Click Root

I did the long method and had to have help or I would help you. They will help you over there though

Yes you need ADB installed and working properly along with the HTC sync drivers. From there its simply run the batch file for the root program and follow the instructions from the program. I cant really lay it out easier than what is in the root thread.

There is a thread over at XDA-developers forum with a program that will auto install ADB for you if you cant set it up yourself, search around their site for it.

Ya its not hard, but is there anyway i can check to see witch driver i installed?
See if i have everything i need before i start.

If ADB recognizes your TB, then its working right But use the latest and your fine.

PS- You can type the command at command prompt "adb devices" and your device should be listed if its plugged.

Does it automatically find my phone? I have it installed and my phone connected with debugging on and all

I rooted mine manually. Watch [video=youtube;oKPSe12YDxQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKPSe12YDxQ]THIS VIDEO[/video] to prep for the 3 Step Root or manual way. It is complete with Driver installation.

Note: about 2 minutes in he describes the driver install. Either download HTC Sync (which takes forever) or manually create the drivers as he shows.

 

[Its TwiX]

Plug your device in through the USB. Open CMD. Change your directory to adb. Since youre not savy I'm guessing you're running Windows. If this is the case type: cd c:\Android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\ now once your directory changes type: adb devices. Your thunderbolt should appear there under devices.

That was an awesome video! Wish I would have had that. Thanks for posting. I will be passing that one along.
